Hello there My name is Asha and I am a qualified person-centred counsellor. There are times in life where we can feel numb or unable to focus, on what’s going on in the present. Perhaps a feeling of being pulled by the past or having anxiety on the future unknowns. I offer a no judgement space, where I will offer empathy and understanding.

When someone you love dies, particularly at the moment, it can be life changing. Every day can suddenly feel like a struggle. Life can feel pointless and overwhelming. Friends and family want to help but they are often struggling with their own grief or do not know what to say or do for the best. I can provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and memories around your loved one so that you can come to terms with your bereavement whilst also gaining a better understanding of yourself, your emotions and patterns of behaviour, allowing you to make better choices and decisions going forward.

Firstly, well done for finding the courage to reach out for help and taking that first step which is crucial for transforming your life.

As a result, I developed a great passion for helping others to find their way forward, and for the last 13 years have provided clients with various forms of support of which counselling has proved to be the most rewarding.

COUNSELLING CAN HELP YOU TELL YOUR STORY… Our lives shape our stories… Sometimes these stories cause us to feel anxious, depressed, stressed, sad or confused. At times our life stories can make us feel stuck, frightened or even lead to trauma. Sometimes we are unsure why we experience difficulties in our relationships whether personal or professional. Counselling can help you make sense of why you think, feel and act as you do. It can bring insight into patterns of relating and ways of being. It can empower you to set goals and make changes to move your life forward. Telling your story can promote growth and healing.

I relate to the challenges of modern life and the complex pressures which people face in their lives. Through therapy, I can give you the space to explore your situation and examine the obstacles affecting your happiness and well-being.
